THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S WAR ON AMERICANS - "They are willing to rend the fabric of this nation in order to protect their privilege and lifestyle. While the vast majority of Americans will ultimately pay the price, the current ruling class and their progeny will have far more to lose."

Democrats Have Become a Disfigured Reflection of the Party They Once Were

In an amazingly prophetic story by Isaac Bashevis Singer entitled "The Gentleman from Cracow," about life in the village of Frampol, where "the food was scarce and the water foul," one day, a young man, a doctor, arrives in a carriage drawn by eight horses.  He tells the villagers that his wife and baby have just died in childbirth, and his rabbi had advised him that his melancholy would disappear in Frampol.  He begins to spend a lot of money in the town, and the town prospers as never before.  He finally decides to marry one of the local women.  On the day of the wedding, "the gentleman from Cracow revealed his true identity."  Who is he?  Singer reveals him to us: "He was no longer the young man the villagers had welcomed, but a creature covered with scales, with an eye in his chest, and on his forehead a horn that rotated at great speed.  His arms were covered with hair, thorns, and elflocks, and his tail was a mass of live serpents, for he was none other than Ketev Mriri, Chief of the Devils."
The above story could be a parable about the Democratic Party, which can now rightly be called the Leftocratic Party, as it has embraced extremist socialist and communist views.  Its members have morphed from being a voice of hope as one of America's two great parties to being properly characterized as unbelievable liars in their animus toward Pres. Donald J. Trump, voices of perversion as they publicly condemn any reservations expressed about "gender fluidity," and anti-prosperity as they wax indignant about Trump's disengagement from various multilateral deals that drain our economy.  Practical and realistic concerns about Islamic terrorist threats are dismissed with outraged, scowling faces as vicious, maniacal racism.  Further, the so-called impeachment hearings distorted or discarded almost every time-honored legal norm under our rule of law.
The Leftocrats are apologists for evil (not just disagreeable) foreign regimes and are against fundamental Constitutional ideas and structures such as the Tenth Amendment as they resist federal disengagement from setting nationwide education priorities.  Leftocrats have been vehemently calling for abolition of the Electoral College.  They are cursing the president from every podium and venue that presents itself and thereby undermine the separation of powers and demonstrate disrespect for the law of the land since our president is head of the Executive Branch. 
We see in their contempt for federal marijuana laws, the institution of sanctuary cities, and their hostility to border enforcement a deranged lack of perspective regarding the health of our citizens, many of whom are struggling with or dying from drug usage.  The opioid epidemic we face is clearly connected to the opioid supply, and that, in turn, is clearly a border issue.  Yet they put aside the well-being of so many poor souls caught by the hook of addiction into ignoring border enforcement in order to score political hate points against the president.  Instead of looking at border issues in terms of law and national health, they turn enforcement into an ugly, defamatory argument about American and Trumpian racism.  Only 14 years ago, they were able to agree with Republicans on the need for stronger border enforcement, whereas now they try to block every Trump attempt — mandated by the American people — to bring order out of chaos on our southern border.
Their ideas of fairness, justice, family, morality, generosity, love, responsibility are not American in any meaningful way.  Instead of promoting political ideals consistent with the U.S. history of Judeo-Christian ideas and ideals (based upon a Protestant foundation derived from English speaking Protestants, albeit with overlays of other Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish traditions), they have derived most of their ideas from abstractions based in cultural Marxism
The phrase "melting pot" had gained wide currency in 1908, during the great wave of Slavic, Jewish, and Italian immigration, when Israel Zangwill's play "The Melting Pot" was produced.  In it, a character says with enthusiasm, "America is God's crucible, the great melting-pot where all the races of Europe are melting and re-forming!"
Beginning in the 1960s, instead of the melting pot, the multiculturalists — rooted in the cultural Marxism of Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Eric FrommAntonio Gramsci, and others — began affirming the diversity "salad bowl" image.  Our national motto: E pluribus unum ("out of many one") has been stood on its head, whereby the goal of the nation is purported as fulfilled only by highlighting and praising the distinctions of every sub-cultural group in the U.S. by age, ethnicity, immigrant status, sexual deviancy (preference), and all "protected classes."  The cultural Marxists want us to believe that the melting pot ideal was a deception imposed on society as a whole by white, male, straight Christians and that the melting pot ideal lacked truth, democratic values, and social vigor.  The masses and certain groups in particular were shunted aside, dispossessed, ignored, or brutalized.  America, despite its apparent successes, was sucking the hope and lifeblood out of the masses of people.
For those of us who have witnessed the progress of African-Americans since the days of Jim Crow and have experienced the economic and social progress of generations produced by the dirt-poor, non-English-speaking immigrants, the harsh criticisms of America by the Leftocrats has morphed into an outrageous and almost demonic defiance of reason.  Where is the balance, the display of reasonableness, the acceptance of others?  Instead, we see an unbridled, vulgar, destructive mindset on display everywhere in the party of derangement. Just consider the language used about Trump by Robert De Niro or the mock bloody beheadings of our president.  Consider the evil assassin who tried to kill Republican congressmen in Florida.
The Democrats now rightly can be renamed Leftocrats.  Their hostility to President Trump has reached pathological dimensions or worse.  Their mantras about the "top 1%" or "top 0.1%" have become the tip of a spear of seemingly bottomless hatred for our president, our history, our legal structures, our institutions, our religious heritage, our language, and our achievements in every sphere of human endeavor.  They have left the realm of constructive criticism and have moved even beyond destructive criticism into the pathological domain of hysterical dementia — or, as with Singer's story, a level of unhingedness even beyond the ken of psychiatry.



Democrats' Contempt for the Sanctity of Life


 

Ed Buck, a prominent Democrat donor and fundraiser, has been charged with battery, administering illegal drugs, and operating a drug house.  The charges paint a disturbing picture of this wealthy scion of liberal politics.  At this time, two men have been identified as having died and a third having been seriously harmed, but prosecutors are said to have found hundreds of photographs "of men in compromising positions" who may have been lured to Buck's home with the promise of money, shelter, and drugs.
This case raises many questions, not just concerning the several felonies with which Buck has been charged, but about the morality of this and other prominent liberals.  On what basis could any human being engage in sexual conduct with "hundreds" of unfortunate human beings, using them like playthings and then casting them aside?  What does such conduct suggest about the capacity of some individuals to use others for their personal pleasure, regardless of the dangerous consequences involved?  
Certainly, conservatives are far from perfect, but at least conservatives do not flaunt their iniquities.  Conservatives as individuals possess all the imperfections of other men, but they still ascribe to an ideal of goodness and virtue.  The same cannot be said for liberals, who believe that they should rack up as much pleasure as possible in this world because they are sure there's no life after death.
For liberals, what happens in the Oval Office stays in the Oval Office.  Many Democrats thought Bill Clinton was just being Clinton and that there was nothing especially immoral about conducting affairs with aides, state employees, actresses, and nursing home managers.  Was this because they did not appreciate the sanctity of those who served as mere diversion for our 42nd president?
Just what is so appealing to liberals about promiscuity, anyway?  Is it just sex, or is there a special satisfaction in transgressing traditional moral codes?  Is it the idea that one is "bigger" than the law?  Or is it that liberals believe that the rules no longer apply?  Is it beneath them to believe in marital fidelity and lifetime devotion to one's spouse?  Liberals think they are too sophisticated for this kid of trust, just as they think telling the truth is Boy Scout stuff and election promises are made to be broken.  "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."  Yeah, right.
Conservatives are different.  We at least hold up the ideal of devotion, honesty, and truth-telling, and though we're not perfect, we try to be.  That's especially the case when it involves the sanctity of life.  Conservatives defend the unborn, defend their families, and defend their God-given liberties.  Conservatives know that all of God's creation is sacred, and it is that knowledge that makes them act with restraint and care.  That is the essence of conservatism.
The essence of liberalism, as I see it, is a lack of restraint rooted in egotism and self.  The Warren presidential campaign is a perfect example.  If elected, Elizabeth Warren will, according to her own admission, attempt to closely regulate all large businesses, eliminate fracking and the jobs that go with it, provide Medicare for All, dictate health care decisions (including practically unlimited abortion "rights"), eliminate capital punishment, raise taxes on the wealthy and on corporations, provide free college, cancel student debt, eliminate the Electoral College, ban assault weapons, open our borders, legalize marijuana, and significantly cut the defense budget.
Warren's policies show her to be an extremist driven by ideology rather than concern for the individuals whom she would tax, endanger, disenfranchise, and tyrannize with regulation and social mandates.  Where is her concern for the individuals whose lives she would alter so radically with her sweeping reforms?  Those lives are sacred, their right to prosper and save is sacred, and their right to safety and security is sacred.  Warren does not seem to have thought much about the dangers of unrestrained immigration or the fact that a weakened national defense will put all Americans at risk.  What is she describing is tyranny, plain and simple.
The most obvious example of liberal denial of the sanctity of life, of course, is liberals' position on abortion.  For any person who truly believes in the sanctity of life, abortion must be repugnant.  One point six million abortions, terminating approximately one quarter of all pregnancies, are performed every year in the U.S.  At this rate, that would amount to 80 million abortions over the past 50 years.  Imagine the loss of those beautiful human souls.
Or are they beautiful?  Liberals do not believe so.  They tell us that the earth has become overpopulated.  It is "the earth" that matters and not human beings.  Or they say the mothers of those unborn children would not be able to care for them and that the children would just become a burden on the State.  The "burden on the State" is more important than the unborn child.
What you will never hear from a liberal is the idea that every child, born and unborn, is sacred.  A child is worth that burden and worth the stress he purportedly places on "the earth."  A time is coming when America will wish that it had those 80 million souls to defend it and help it prosper.  That ability to contribute to society and pursue economic opportunity, and to fight if necessary to defend one's home, is another side of what makes every child sacred.  Children are sacred because of their capacity for goodness, beauty, and life, but also because they will grow into adults who take responsibility for themselves and for their neighbors.   
Would any conservative vote to end the life of 80 million human beings?
I believe that every human being is God's creation and that everyone is born with the potential to contribute and achieve.  Our Founders believed in limited government because they too believed in human potential, and they feared the tyranny of authoritarianism.  They had reason to fear, having lived under the yoke of British colonial rule.
It is no accident that those who seek a vast expansion of government power today also oppose the sanctity of life.  A free people engaged in productive endeavors will never vote for a socialist who will suppress their freedom.  What today's tyrants fear above all is a public that believes in the sanctity of life and is willing to stand up for it.

So is running for president now a corrupt Democrat's 'get out of jail free' card?

 

Based on today's standards, promoted in Congress and the press, Democratic Party candidates, such as Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, can greatly enrich their families with massive amounts of money from foreign parties, and a Republican president or its Justice department are not even allowed to bring up their names, let alone research their obvious corruption. Most of the media and other Democrats are now calling President Trump's bid to get to the bottom of the ongoing corruption we see 'impeachable' and they couldn't care less about corruption as they preach that no one is above the law.
Democrats can seek trash on their Republican opponents from foreign nationals and not only do most journalists and other Democrats not care, they can use a fake dossier full of opposition research as grist for an FBI investigation in their bid to take out Trump. Then, if Trump brings up Biden’s name to a foreign leader, they call that illegal and impeachable.
A Democrat, her staff and many at the State Department and other agencies can continually violate the nation's security laws (as Clinton did) and the Justice Department inexplicably lets her off. Most journalists and other Democrats support her and call it partisan to look at the clear violations of the law as they lecture everyone that no one is above the law.
A Democrat and her spouse can physically and mentally abuse women (again, the Clinton pair) and seek to destroy anyone who gets in their way as they amass power. Most journalists and other Democrats don’t give a damn about any of the abused women with credible claims against Bill or Hillary Clinton even as they say how pro-women they are.
A Democrat commits fraud throughout her adult life by lying about her heritage to move up the economic ladder (Elizabeth Warren) and most journalists and other Democrats will support her. In fact, they've made her the frontrunner in the current Democratic nomination for president polls.
Democrat candidates can seek to destroy and impeach Judge Brett Kavanaugh based on articles the media has published with no evidence to support the stories. And the media pretends their stories are based on facts. How can they expect the public to believe them when they ran years of stories on Russian collusion when there was never any evidence?
Democrat candidates continually lie about what Trump said in Charlottesville and lie about Ferguson, Missouri to gin up racial hate and violence and they are supported wholeheartedly by the complicit media as they pretend they are the party of unity and the truthful party.
Democrat bureaucrats in the Obama administration, at Justice, CIA, other intelligence agencies and at the State Department continually lie to justify spying to take out Trump while they protect Hillary from prosecution. But if the Trump administration looks at the origins of the fake Russian collusion narrative, that is impeachable and partisan. The compliant media doesn’t give a darn about the clear violations of the law and abuse of power while they continually say that no one is above the law.
A Democrat president can violate the Constitution with DACA, be flexible with Russia, give kickbacks to Iran tyrants, stop an investigation into drug running by terrorists to appease Iran, violate bankruptcy laws, have slush funds at Justice, CFPB and EPA to reward political supporters, illegally unmask names of people surrounding Trump, leave Americans to die in Libya while concocting a lie, spy illegally on thousands of Americans, imprison reporters, look the other way as his Secretary of State violates security laws and takes kickbacks, Look the other way as Obama administration officials such as Eric Holder, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice and others commit perjury, withhold documents from Congress for years on Fast and Furious, prosecute whistleblowers for violation of the espionage act, cage and separate children at the border and all his conversations with foreign leaders will remain private.
As the media watched all this clear corruption unfold throughout eight years of Obama, almost all journalists and other Democrat supported him, called him brilliant and to this date pretend the Obama administration was scandal-free as they tell the public that no one is above the law.
Known serial liars Clapper, Brennan, Holder, plus creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti are treated as reliable sources by almost all media outlets as they trash Trump.
Meanwhile, whatever Trump does is impeachable, even if it is only bringing up Biden’s name to investigate clear corruption. According to the media, as they collude with other Democrats, it appears that every one of Trump’s phone calls should be made public.
And any disgruntled Democrat bureaucrat who leaks information, whether or not they had firsthand knowledge, should be treated as a protected whistleblower instead of a leaker.
Republicans are welcome as reliable sources in the media, like Senators Mitt Romney, John McCain or Jeff Flake, as long as they are trashing Trump. Otherwise they are not welcome.
It is so hard to spot the bias as the media trashes Trump and his supporters, daily, with every name in the book and lecture the public that no one is above the law and how the Democrat party is the party of unity.

Hillary's going to get in

It is no longer a matter of if but of when.  All doubts about Hillary's 2020 plans should have been erased by her appearances this week promoting the book that she and her daughter “wrote” to say nothing about her mien!  She endlessly reprised her absurd claim that the election was stolen from her, called for Trump's impeachment, and even admitted to her gutsiness for standing by her man.
I think she has always been in the race, covertly, and that she and Bill always assumed that no candidate would arrive at the convention with enough delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot, at which point she could be put forth as a compromise.
Screen Grab (Cropped)
Biden's done for; there is no way he is going to survive the imbroglio surrounding his son's machinations and profiteering in Ukraine and China.  There's too much there there.  It will become inescapable, even to the unwashed, that the only reason money flowed to Hunter Biden was to gain influence with Joe or gain benefits through Joe and his network of friends and allies.
Joe’s always been a placeholder for Hillary, whether he realizes it or not. It’s all has changed now because Biden's done, and could precipitate Hillary's early entry into the fray, as not only Biden but Bernie Sanders may be leaving the field. With their supporters potentially up for grabs, Elizabeth Warren could end up with a first ballot victory.
Hillary has to know that she is considered to be unlikable, but I think it is a given that no one likes Warren, either.  Daniel Greenfield compares her to Hillary here:
Warren’s likability deficit has nothing to do with her gender....[She ripped] off asbestos victims while pocketing a tidy sum....The ‘Hillariness’ of Warren doesn’t [just] lie in their shared fabulism or lack of ethics....[her] a complete lack of qualifications....[or because both are] inauthentic scolds who suffer from hall monitor syndrome. They spent their entire lives breaking every rule they could find while awkwardly fantasizing about running every tiny detail of everyone else’s lives....[They're] both unlikable because you can’t picture either one having any fun....[C]ombine that with an obsessive need to monitor, regulate and eradicate other people’s fun, and you have the miserable essence of the progressive movement.
Hillary, and Bill, know that this is their [third] last chance, and they're not going to let another woman snatch it from her, as that “articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking” black guy or that entitled creep did.  So, keep an eye out, for “when” is going to be sooner than anyone expected.
Now, can she win this time?  Only a fool would count her out.  She won't lose Biden's supporters.  Just being a woman will get her many of Warren's female supporters.  Despite Trump's inroads with African-American and Hispanic voters, she'll find considerable support in those groups.  Wall Street, Hollywood, and the MSM love her.  Traditional Democrats, not wanting four more years of uproar, may return to the fold over Ukraine and the like.
She'll work harder this time, if she can uphold under the effort, bringing Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin into the picture.  She'll be better prepared to debate Trump, but that may not mean much since Trump's hard to out-debate.
Settle into the chair, get out the popcorn, the show's about to begin.  If you doubt it, then I have a walking trail in Chappaqua to sell you.

DEMOCRAT PARTY CORRUPTION 
Their banksters and billionaires demand wider open borders to keep wages depressed 
"This is how they will destroy America from within.  The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion of millions of migrants.  They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers.  These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY

 

 

‘The Left Case Against Open Borders’: Liberal Author Pans ‘Useful Idiots of Big Business’



 22 Nov 20188
5:13

Progressives’ enthusiastic support for mass immigration has converted them into “useful idiots” for the nation’s business elites, says a left-wing writer.

Irish author Angela Nagle writes:
Today’s well-intentioned activists have become the useful idiots of big business. With their adoption of “open borders” advocacy—and a fierce moral absolutism that regards any limit to migration as an unspeakable evil—any criticism of the exploitative system of mass migration is effectively dismissed as blasphemy. Even solidly leftist politicians, like Bernie Sanders in the United States and Jeremy Corbyn in the United Kingdom, are accused of “nativism” by critics if they recognize the legitimacy of borders or migration restriction at any point. This open borders radicalism ultimately benefits the elites within the most powerful countries in the world, further disempowers organized labor, robs the developing world of desperately needed professionals, and turns workers against workers.
Nagle also argues that mass immigration operates extracts human talent from developing societies for the benefit of wealthy, comfortable U.S. elites:
Advocates of open borders often overlook the costs of mass migration for developing countries. Indeed, globalization often creates a vicious cycle: liberalized trade policies destroy a region’s economy, which in turn leads to mass emigration from that area, further eroding the potential of the origin country while depressing wages for the lowest paid workers in the destination country. One of the major causes of labor migration from Mexico to the United States has been the economic and social devastation caused by the North American Free Trade Agreement (nafta). Nafta forced Mexican farmers to compete with U.S. agriculture, with disastrous consequences for Mexico. Mexican imports doubled, and Mexico lost thousands of pig farms and corn growers to U.S. competition. When coffee prices fell below the cost of production, nafta prohibited state intervention to keep growers afloat. Additionally, U.S. companies were allowed to buy infrastructure in Mexico, including, for example, the country’s main north-south rail line. The railroad then discontinued passenger service, resulting in the decimation of the rail workforce after a wildcat strike was crushed. By 2002, Mexican wages had dropped by 22 percent, even though worker productivity increased by 45 percent.7 In regions like Oaxaca, emigration devastated local economies and communities, as men emigrated to work in America’s farm labor force and slaughterhouses, leaving behind women, children, and the elderly.
Left-wing servants of business elites spray claims of racism on the public to suppress their rational and reasonable opposition to immigration exploitation, Nagle argues:
The immigration expansionists have two key weapons. One is the big business and financial interests all working on their side, but an equally powerful weapon—wielded more expertly by the left-leaning immigration expansionists—is moral blackmail and public shame. People are right to see the mistreatment of migrants as morally wrong. Many people are concerned about the growth of racism and callousness toward minorities that often accompanies anti-immigration sentiment. But the open borders position does not even live up to its own professed moral code.
The tacit alliance of the wealthy against the middle prompt some invective by the Irish author;
In the wealthiest nations, open borders advocacy seems to function as a fanatical cult among true believers—a product of big business and free market lobbying is carried along by a larger group of the urban creative, tech, media, and knowledge economy class, who are serving their own objective class interests by keeping their transient lifestyles cheap and their careers intact as they parrot the institutional ideology of their industries. The truth is that mass migration is a tragedy, and upper-middle-class moralizing about it is a farce. Perhaps the ultra-wealthy can afford to live in the borderless world they aggressively advocate for, but most people need—and want—a coherent, sovereign political body to defend their rights as citizens.
Read it all here.
The establishment’s economic policy of using migration to boost economic growth shifts wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with cheap white-collar and blue-collar foreign labor. That flood of outside labor spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees.
The policy also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least five million marginalized Americans and their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.
Immigration also pulls investment and wealth away from heartland states because coastal investors can more easily hire and supervise the large immigrant populations living in the coastal states.

Two Americas: De Blasio's Amazon vs. Trump's Walmart



That the Democrat Party is now the party of the rich is increasingly seen in its candidates. Forget the occasional Ocasio-Cortez. A Democrat candidate is more likely to be someone like Illinois’ new governor, J.B. Pritzer, who promises to complete Illinois’ financial collapse with single-payer insurance and a progressive income tax, promising to persist until he runs out of other people’s money:



John Edwards once spoke of “two Americas,” one “for all of those people who have lived the American dream and don't have to worry, and another for most Americans, everybody else who struggle to make ends meet every single day”. One is reminded of this by New York City mayor Bill De Blasio’s full-throated shouting of “socialism for all” from the rooftops of buildings whose height his politburo would determine and whose rents and occupants his commissars would control.
Mayor Bill de Blasio cited his "socialistic impulse" in describing an ideal world where New York City government has control over all land and buildings in his city.
“I think people all over this city, of every background, would like to have the city government be able to determine which building goes where, how high it will be, who gets to live in it, what the rent will be,” de Blasio said in a wide-ranging interview with New York Magazine. “I think there’s a socialistic impulse, which I hear every day, in every kind of community that they would like things to be planned in accordance to their needs.”
To each according to their needs -- gee, where have we heard that before? One would be willing to believe De Blasio’s socialistic impulses arises out of genuine, if wrongheaded, concern for the working poor and the middle class, the people the Democrat “party of compassion” is allegedly the champion of,  if it were not for De Blasio’s  support for what some would call corporate welfare, welcoming cash-rich and taxpayer-subsidized Amazon’s new HQ to New York City while closing its borders to a Walmart invasion.
A listener asked just what the difference was between the two retail giants during the mayor’s weekly guest spot on WNYC radio:
“Amazon is… part of the American economy,” he continued. “I would ask every good progressive, every listener out there who has a concern about Amazon: How many are using Amazon as part of their daily lives? Whatever you like or dislike about Amazon, Walmart is an entirely different universe in terms of the efforts they’ve undertaken to not only undermine labor, small business, the environment… and obviously the politics of [Walmart’s owners] the Walton family to add to it,” referring to the Waltons’ track record of funneling megabucks to conservative causes.
Funny that De Blasio has no objection to the likes of billionaires Tom Steyer, Oprah Winfrey, and George Soros funneling big bucks to liberal candidates and causes. One of the takeaways from the 2018 midterms was the morphing of the Democrats to the party of the rich as those stinky Walmart shoppers lined up at Trump rallies. The GOP is now the party of the working class, or the deplorable bitter-clingers of Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Hussein Obama’s disdain. As deep state coup architect Peter Strzok infamously said in a text message to fellow agent Lisa Page:
“Just went to a southern Virginia Walmart. I could SMELL the Trump support.”
Who wants Walmart greeters and cashiers moving to New York when you can have the high-rollers who work for Amazon?  Amazon promises to deliver 25,000 jobs with an average salary of $150,000, which is a lot more than the average Walmart greeter or cashier makes.
Wal-Mart gave people what they want at a price they can afford. Those “mom-and-pop” stores De Blasio champions were often inefficient, opportunistic price-gougers. Walmart believed a fair wage was and is one agreed upon between employee and employer. No one was forced to work or shop there.  It was efficient, innovative, successful, and non-union, and that is why it was and is hated for all these reasons. It is the poster child for roll-up-your-sleeves capitalism.
Founded as a single five-and-dime store in a small Arkansas town, its success story mirrors America’s. It is a poster child for capitalism and the American dream. It is ironic that Wal-Mart critics, who have long complained its employees live paycheck to paycheck, forget that many of its customers also live paycheck to paycheck, and seek quality merchandise at decent prices. They opposed “low” wages for Wal-Mart employees while in effect supporting higher prices for Wal-Mart customers.
That the Democrat Party is now the party of the rich is increasingly seen in its candidates. Forget the occasional Ocasio-Cortez. A Democrat candidate is more likely to be someone like Illinois’ new governor, J.B. Pritzer, who promises to complete Illinois’ financial collapse with single-payer insurance and a progressive income tax, promising to persist until he runs out of other people’s money:
This month saw the election of Jay Robert "J.B." Pritzker as governor of Illinois. Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune, is worth an estimated $3.2 billion, and spent $171.5 million to get himself elected, according to Money magazine.
Another winner was Edward M. "Ned" Lamont Jr., in the Connecticut governor's race. Lamont, an heir to the J.P. Morgan banking fortune of his great-grandfather Thomas Lamont, estimated his assets in 2006 at between $90 million and $300 million, and showed reporters tax returns last month with income totaling $18 million over 5 years.
The winner of the election for governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, filed financial disclosure forms as a member of the House of Representatives indicating estimated wealth of more than $300 million.
Pritzker, Lamont, and Polis are all Democrats…
Somehow, the wealth of Pritzker, Lamont, and Polis has gotten less attention, perhaps because it doesn't so easily fit the country-club Republican stereotype. Instead of writing about the limousine liberals who are so rich they make the Trump cabinet look like a bunch of paupers, the press has been obsessing about how a newly elected congresswoman from the Bronx, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, can't afford to rent a place in Washington until she starts collecting her congressional salary.
The socialism of the coastal elites of which De Blasio is a leader is akin to the old Soviet politburo who lived very well as they dictated what could be built and where, what people would make and where and how they would live. Everyone was equal but some were more equal than others.
I reject the Democrat Party of the rich in favor of the GOP party of the working poor and the middle class, the deplorable bitter clingers. God, how I love the smell of Walmart in the morning.

Left-wing billionaire Tom Steyer, who spent millions in the 2018 midterm elections pushing for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, is preparing to launch a campaign for president in 2020, according to Politico.

Politico’s Alex Thompson wrote Monday evening:
The former billionaire investor, climate activist and impeachment agitator Tom Steyer will take several steps toward a 2020 presidential bid Tuesday.
That will include a six-figure web ad buy on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram along with a full-page ad in USA Today and other Gannett newspapers outlining a political platform, a revamped TomSteyer.com, and the announcement of five town halls across the country, the first of which will be in the crucial early primary state of South Carolina, according to copies of the ad and platform provided to POLITICO.
The first town hall is set for Dec. 4 in Charleston, S.C., and the next will be in Fresno, Calif., sometime in December, according to Aleigha Cavalier, senior communications adviser for TomSteyer.com who also works for Steyer’s climate-focused group NextGen America. There will be one town hall for each of the “5 rights” on Steyer’s platform: the right to an equal vote, to clean air and water, to learn with pre-K education through college, to a living wage, and to health.
Steyer has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on other Democrats’ campaigns in recent years. He was the party’s top donor in 2014 — buying few wins but allowing him to force the party to stage an all-night talk session about climate change on the Senate floor.
In 2018, he spent over $100 million on an effort to push for impeachment, reinforcing that message the day after the election in a New York Times op-ed.

DEMOCRAT PARTY CORRUPTION 

"This is how they will destroy America from within.  The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are extravagantly wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the downside of the invasion of millions of migrants, the crime or the financial burden.  They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers.  These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY

Democrat Corruption is a Clear and Present Danger to America



On November 6, it seemed the Republicans might hold their majority in the Senate and in the House.  Sadly, they lost their majority in the House. The mystery is why so many Democrat candidates who are so obviously ethically challenged won in races that should not have even been close.  
How and why do Democrats continue to vote for unqualified, dishonest candidates?  Elizabeth Warren is a proven liar, a cheat who claimed Native American heritage in order to get a job at Harvard.  Her baby, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, was her plan to wield control over all bank and non-bank institutions without Congressional interference. In short, she is a hard-left socialist who means to control how Americans earn, spend and borrow money, how they use their savings.  Warren is a blight on the Constitution and the guaranteed freedoms of US citizens. She is an advance operative for the socialist America the left envisions.  
Andrew Gillum, the left's choice to be Governor of Florida, is the failed mayor of Tallahassee.  He remains under FBI investigation for corruption.  Given the information about that investigation that has been released, he appears yet another greedy and corrupt Democrat pol in the Hillary Clinton mold.  The stability of Tallahassee declined catastrophically under his leadership;  crime and murder rose drastically.  
Gillum sold out his city for money, and cries racism when confronted with his crimes.  He should never have been the candidate for the Governor of Florida but the left cares only about race and power, not ethics or honor.  For progressives, race trumps everything else, even character.  If Gillum wins after the cheating Broward County is infamous for, Florida will suffer the slings and arrows that are inevitable under politicians like Gillum.  Why was this race even close?  Have half the nation's voters scuttled any semblance of  traditional values in order to win?  Yes.
Then there is Robert Menendez, the credibly accused pedophile senator of New Jersey.  He should be in prison but was saved by one juror in his corruption trial with whom he partied after his win on November 6.  Who votes for a man like this?  There is plenty of proof that he took bribes from a wealthy client for numerous favors, trips to  the Dominican Republic for sex with underage girls being one of them.  But New Jersey just re-elected this man.  They too have lost all sense of right vs. wrong.
Stacey Abrams, the still grasping gubernatorial contender in Georgia,  is a hard-left, anti-capitalist, anti-Second Amendment candidate.  She owes about $200K in credit card debt and wants to run Georgia?  She too is corrupt and incompetent.  She is also willing to cheat to win. Are Georgians ignorant of her many, many negatives? If they are, they voted for her anyway.  Again, skin color trumps everything.    
The left ignores fine men like John James, who ran for the House in Michigan against Debbie Stabenow.   The left  ignored Eddie Edwards who ran in New Hampshire.  Both men  are conservative African Americans.  The American left today pretends such candidates do not exist.  They have ignored fine people like James and Edwards as they have always ignored brilliant men like Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Walter Williams, Jason Riley, and Larry Elder.  They revile the brilliant Clarence Thomas.  They don't like to be reminded of men like Frederick Douglass or Booker T. Washington.  Neither of them, like Sowell, Steele, Williams and Elder ever promoted the idea that African Americans were or would be perennial victims.  Each of them advocated for quite the opposite, for self-reliance and independence. 
This notion of personal responsibility is anathema to today's left; they need and promote subservience and dependency among their flock of reliable but uninformed voters.  This is why they encourage the immigration of so many millions of illegal migrants. They assume they will be able to win for them the right to vote.  Judging by the number of them who likely voted in the midterms, their plan is succeeding.  
This is how they will destroy America  from within.  The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are extravagantly wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to  the downside of the invasion of millions of migrants, the crime or the  financial burden.  They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers.  These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us. 
Then there is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the thoroughly-ignorant-of-everything candidate who won her district  by 80%!  This young woman knows nothing about how any government works, let alone ours.  She is hopelessly uniformed; she knows even less about US history or the Constitution.  She is clueless about the economy.  When asked how she would pay for all the give-away programs she touts, she replied that that was  a "puzzling question"!  "You just pay for it"  she answers.  She has no idea; no idea about anything.  She thinks she will be "inaugurated" to the House!  Most fourth graders know more than she does about US history.   And yet she is already thinking about running for President!  This is a wholesale  indictment of our politicized, dumbed-down system of education.  Many of her constituents are immigrants; we are obviously not educating them at all.  They voted for all the free stuff -- college, medical care, basic income, housing,  that Ocasio-Cortez has promised to deliver.  This is what socialist Democrats dream about:  perpetual power over a populace too ignorant to rebel.  American as founded is at grave risk. 
In addition to ODasio-Cortez, Gillum, Ilhan OmarAbramsSinema, who very likely cheated to take  the Arizona Senate seat,  there is Linda Sanchez.  Kirsten Gillibrand is a Hillary clone; she only cares about her own political power. She speaks like a small child but is also considering a run for the presidency.  She was best pals with Bill Clinton and Harvey Weinstein until they were politically inconvenient.  Amy Klobuchar, who embraced the vicious and obviously false allegations against Judge Kavanagh, was re-elected!  Like every other Democrat member of the judiciary committee, she knew those accusations were false, without a shred of corroboration, but her constituents re-elected her!  Who are these voters?  How do they reconcile voting for people willing to destroy a fine man for political purposes?  She is exactly who every Democrat member of that committee is, who every member of the Democrat Party is:  nothing more than power-hungry political operatives out to ruin any and all opponents by any means necessary.   They are a clear and present danger to American as founded. 
Young people are no longer taught the truth of American history.  They are not taught the truth of the Holocaust.  Anti-Semitism is acceptable, even promoted,  by the Democrats.  They embrace Linda Sarsour and Louis Farrakhan without shame.  Young people don't know that communism killed over a hundred million people in the twentieth century.  Their calculated-by-leftists  ignorance is destroying our country. They try to sell the idea that gender is not a factor of biology!  They attempt to convince young people that climate change is man-made (a travesty) and that global warming causes wild fires (a lie).  Having control over academia, they have willfully brainwashed students for nearly two generations.  Unless your children are a strong-willed, independent thinkers, do not send them to college! 
How and why the American left has devolved into the kind of party one finds in a banana republic is a mystery.  That our media is so anxious to promote their corrupt candidates and the low-brow tactics they employ is a tragedy. Do they do it because they can no longer win by promulgating their Orwellian vision of a socialist state, mandated equality of outcome?  Perhaps.  They will never sell socialism to enough sentient Americans to win.  They need millions of uninformed voters to succeed.  
We must not let them cheat their way to power over the rest of us.  Their ongoing vote fraud must be stopped and the Democrats need to take a look at themselves and at what they have become. It's not a pretty picture.  What they have become threatens to destroy the greatest nation on the planet and they are doing it on purpose.  They have nothing but contempt for the US as founded and for those of us who love this country.

 

DEMOCRACY DIES IN A LEFTIST COUP

The best midterms that San Francisco donors could buy.



November 15, 2018


Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
After President Trump took office, the Washington Post announced its new motto, “Democracy dies in darkness.” But it was the Washington Post, not Trump, that was guilty of undermining democracy.
President Trump had been legitimately elected by a majority of states. The Washington Post was an establishment paper in a government city owned by a dot com robber baron. There’s nothing more undemocratic than a paper owned by the richest man in the world working to overturn an election.
There was just as little democracy to the midterm elections in which wealthy donors from blue states and districts poured money into local races in red and purple states and districts. San Francisco and New York billionaires buying elections in Pennsylvania and Nevada is not democracy. It’s oligarchy.
American elected officials were meant to be elected by local communities to serve their needs. Instead the Left has nationalized local races by exploiting its cultural power. And when that didn’t produce the immediate results that it wanted, began overwhelming local elections with huge piles of outside cash.
The midterm elections were the best elections that San Francisco donors could buy.
Senate Democrats picked up $220 million in out-of-state donations these midterms. That huge pile of cash also amounted to sixty percent of their haul. The majority of Dem Senate cash came from donors who weren’t living in the states they were running in, but who were trying to buy elections for them.
That’s the Washington Post brand of democracy.
It’s not just Senate races being bought up by out-of-state donors. 45% of House Dem money came from out-of-state donors. And when they didn’t succeed in buying a local election the first time, they just kept on pouring in more money into a district until they got their way.
Last year, Democrats poured in $22.5 million into a special election in Georgia’s 6th congressional district. 95% of the donations came from out-of-state donors. Democrat Jon Ossoff received more donations from California than Georgia. Ossoff still lost to Rep. Karen Handel, even though her donations amounted to only a fraction of his ActBlue bucks.
But the same donors just waited a year and bought the seat for Lucy McBath in the midterms.
In October, Lucy McBath was appearing at the Writers Guild Theater in Los Angeles hosted by Hollywood royalty like Katzenberg, Tony Goldwyn and Cameron Crowe for a $500 a head fundraiser.
A large chunk of outside money behind McBath came from Michael Bloomberg. McBath touted his gun control positions and the New York billionaire’s front groups put $4.5 million behind his lackey.
That $4.5 million was a fraction of the $100 million that Bloomberg vowed to plow into the Dems.
There’s nothing democratic about Bloomberg buying the 6th the way he once bought Gracie Mansion.
In Illinois' 13th Congressional District, Betsy Dirksen Londrigan pulled in $1.7 million to Rep. Rodney Davis' $700K in a three month period. And then outside groups poured in nearly as much again in support of Londrigan. $300K of that money came from California.
In Nevada, out-of-state donors bought Jacky Rosen a senate seat. 85% of the radical lefty candidate’s donations came from outside the state. Of her 5 top donor zip codes, two were in New York, two in California, including Palo Alto, and the odd zip code out was in Chevy Chase, Maryland. 
The media frequently airs complaints about how little political power New York and California have per capita compared to a handful of small states. These complaints are not only cynically specious, they ignore the fact that between the media’s messaging force multipliers and the bicoastal wealth being used to buy elections, political power has become as concentrated as economic and cultural power.
And that’s the opposite of democracy.
The midterms weren’t a populist wave. They were an angry tantrum by wealthy blue state donors who used their money to buy local elections as payback for having their views ignored in 2016. Instead of listening to the rest of the country, they set out to buy it, lock, stock and barrel. They found experts, consultants, strategists, programmers and organizers who would buy them other people’s elections.
Much of their money was wasted. Just ask Beto O’Rourke and his $70 million war chest. But their hysterical frenzy of spending made an undeniable impact. If you throw enough mud or money at an election, eventually it sticks. The Democrat raised nearly $1 billion to take the House.
And they took it.
$166.8 million was pumped into 30 House Democrat candidates. That’s compared to $90.7 million for the Republican candidates in those races.
The most expensive midterm elections in history paid off for Democrats. And there’s nothing democratic about that.
Democracy doesn’t die in darkness. It dies in the glare of lefty media, lefty money and lefty power which strip away local issues and local agency in Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Florida. Big blue state donors bought the midterm elections to send a message to President Trump. Many had been convinced by frenzied media hit pieces in papers like the Washington Post that action was desperately urgent.
When the Washington Post, the rest of the media and their long tail of ActBlue donors intervene in local elections, it doesn’t uphold democracy. It drowns it in the bright actinic glare of flashes and floodlights.
The media postures as a defender of democracy, but corporate media is more naturally a defender of establishments, of the nostrums and platitudes of the elites whom it serves and coddles. When it interferes in elections, it doesn’t do so for the sake of the people, but for the sake of its people.
Political elites mistrust the people and use the media to manipulate popular elections into endorsing their unpopular agendas. The mainstream media is an inherently undemocratic institution that amplifies elite voices at the expense of local communities. It claims to be democratic only because it reinterprets democracy to mean the political agendas of the Democrats rather than those of the people.
Lefties often misuse democracy to mean a set of values while actual democracy, the vox populi, is tarred as populism. But democracy isn’t a set of social issues. It’s the power shift between the voters and elected officials. Big media and blue state billionaires have shifted that balance away from local voters by buying local elections and seeking new voters when the old won’t vote their way.
If a few million in attack ads won’t influence local voters, you register new ones. If that doesn’t work, then you legalize felons. And if that won’t do it, there are the illegal aliens, and voter and ballot fraud. Buy a few secretary of state races. Set up housing for out-of-state college students. Sign up aliens to vote. And then even if the local voters don’t vote your way, it won’t matter. They’ll have been outvoted.
This isn’t democracy. But it is how Democrats have won some local races.
The shift away from local voters to a national political infrastructure is undemocratic. But it neatly fits into the larger leftist cause of centralizing all of politics (and all other areas of life) in elitist strongholds. The partnerships between elitist leaders and their local crony stakeholders act as a fig leaf for the dismantling of local autonomy with performative diversity replacing representational democracy.
The Democrats have waged an undemocratic war on democracy in the name of democracy. The midterms were the latest leftist coup against democracy. And democracy lost to the Left.


THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS WAGES WAR ON AMERICA!

MULTI-CULTURALISM and the creation of a one-party globalist country to serve the rich in America’s open borders.

“Open border advocates, such as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the CIS has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegals were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, CA, with its 2.6 million illegals, would be booming.” STEVE BALDWIN – AMERICAN SPECTATOR

"America’s elites, now overwhelmingly represented by the Democratic Party, have a single overriding interest: their self-indulgent lifestyle."



Class Conflict within the Democratic Party



Over many decades, the American Left, the Democratic Party and their mutual propaganda arm, the self-styled “mainstream media,” have successfully portrayed conservatives and the Republican Party as a coalition of the wealthy and intolerant.  Further, the Democrats and the left have claimed that they are the true champions of the working or middle class as they unceasingly fight to defeat and marginalize this evil menace. 
The reality, however, is that this cabal has virtually no interest in defending or aiding the working class as they are, in fact, the party of a bifurcated constituency: the wealthy and those dependent on the largess of the government.
Of the fifty wealthiest congressional districts throughout the country, the Democrats now represent forty-one.  Of the remaining nine represented by Republicans, three are in Texas, the only red state on the list of fifty districts. Not coincidentally the residents of these same fifty districts are supposedly among the most well-educated and sophisticated.  This transformative process is not a recent phenomenon as the trend began in the 1980’s and accelerated rapidly in the early 2000’s.
America’s elites, now overwhelmingly represented by the Democratic Party, have a single overriding interest: their self-indulgent lifestyle.  This is manifested in their mistaken belief that conservatives (i.e. the “right”) are hell bent on enforcing their version of morality on the nation, thus potentially calling into question the lifestyles of the rich and solipsistic. 
The veracity of this claim is immaterial as it would require an element of deliberation not emotion --  a trait in extremely short supply among the nation’s privileged class, nearly all of whom have difficulty in generating an original thought due to the ill-education rampant in America’s universities.  Thus, the mindless accusations of racism, misogyny and Fascism directed at the conservative rubes in middle America are acceptable, and in far too many instances believed, particularly as many had the temerity to vote for Donald Trump – who, although wealthy and Ivy League educated, is considered the ultimate unsophisticated rube.
As conservatives are the dominant force in the Republican Party and this nation cannot function politically with more than two major political parties, the alternative is the Democratic Party.  An entity dominated by the American Left, an assemblage whose core philosophy is antithetical to the interests of the wealthy and privileged.  Yet, determined to protect their lifestyles and vilify conservatives, they willingly ally with the left and overwhelmingly support virtually any Democratic candidate.  In the recent 2018 mid-terms, Democratic House candidates outspent their Republican opponents by a two to one margin thanks primarily to this wealthy but myopic assemblage. 
Their colleagues in the Democratic Party, and the preponderance of the membership, are those dependent on the largess of the federal and state governments.  On the other hand, the growing segment of the citizenry who are working and self-sufficient are increasingly joining those who believe in limited government in migrating to the Republican Party-- a process that is accelerating with the policies and tactics of Donald Trump in combating the entrenched left and their determination to culturally and economically transform the nation.  The Republican Party will inevitably become the party of the working or middle class.  As such, they could potentially dominate the political agenda for the foreseeable future.
The left and the Democratic Party, in order to offset this possibility, must aggressively seek to increase the number of dependents by promoting the legalization and ultimate citizenship for untold millions of illegal immigrants and promising all Americans cradle to grave economic security.  In order to enact this strategy to defeat the Republicans, the left must have the active participation and financial support of the nation’s wealthy-- which they have. 
The Democratic Party has evolved into essentially an incompatible two-tier class-driven entity encompassing the nation’s wealthiest and the nation’s poorest.  Nonetheless, it is at present a convenient home for the elites to hold off the imaginary horde of conservatives outside their gilded doors. 
However, the voting numbers within the party are overwhelmingly with those who generally support the leftist philosophies of redistribution (e.g. socialized medicine and guaranteed incomes) and curtailing of freedom (e.g. speech, assembly and religion).  While it may not manifest itself to the affluent who have cast their lot with the Democrats, the redistribution of wealth must, by necessity, come from the wealthy, as that is where the bulk of the nation’s wealth resides.   It is also this same small-in-numbers group that benefits the most from freedom of speech and assembly. 
Once fully embroiled in this marriage of convenience, a divorce will be impossible as the co-inhabitant of the Democratic Party, the dependent class, must continue grow in order to electorally defeat the Republicans and protect the left’s agenda.  Further, the oversold expectations promulgated by the left will never be satisfied regardless of how many promises are made or token redistributive programs are enacted by the current ruling class.  Only a complete transformation of this nation into a failed socialist state will satiate the left, their acolytes and their attendant army of dependency.  A goal more in reach than ever thanks to the inability of the nation’s elites to give a damn about the future of the country.
There is not a more short-sighted and self-absorbed group of citizens in this nation than the white, wealthy well-educated urban and suburban voters.  They are willing to rend the fabric of this nation in order to protect their privilege and lifestyle.  While the vast majority of Americans will ultimately pay the price, the current ruling class and their progeny will have far more to lose.
